Install the Bird plugin

Add Bird from the Cursor Marketplace, or type /add-plugin bird in Cursor. The plugin installs Bird’s MCP server and the bird-cli and email-audit skills together. The recording shows the manual route: adding the messagebird/bird-ai marketplace under Settings then Plugins.

Bird is also listed on cursor.directory. To add only the skills, run npx skills add messagebird/bird-ai.

Open in the Cursor Marketplace

Connect Cursor. Then get to work.

To add the MCP server without the skills, use one click or the configuration here. Signing in to your workspace is a separate step.

Add to Cursor
~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bird": {
      "url": "https://mcp.bird.com"
    }
  }
}

  1. Add Bird

    Select Add to Cursor, or use the ~/.cursor/mcp.json configuration shown here. If the Bird plugin already registered the server, keep that existing connection.

  2. Authorize the connection

    In Cursor, open Customize → MCPs in the sidebar, find Bird, and follow its sign-in prompt.

  3. Check the account

    Ask your agent to call whoami and inspect the current workspace before the first product task. A returned identity confirms the sign-in worked.

Read the setup guide

Send a welcome email. Then check that it landed.

A good first task once Bird is connected, because it covers drafting, approval, sending and delivery. Paste the prompts into Cursor’s agent chat.

Send a welcome email
Write a short welcome email for new customers of my product and preview it with sample values. Show me the draft first. Once I approve it, send it to my own address from onboarding@messagebird.dev.
Check the delivery
Look up the welcome email you just sent and tell me whether it was delivered. If it was not, list its delivery events and explain what went wrong.

  1. The agent drafts

    It writes the email as a template and renders a preview with sample values. Nothing reaches a recipient at this stage.

  2. You approve, it sends

    The test goes out from Bird’s shared onboarding domain, so you can try this before publishing any DNS records. Verify your own domain before you send to customers.

  3. It reports back

    The agent reads the message back with its delivery status. Per-recipient statuses and the event log are there when a send needs a closer look.

Read the first-email guide

More good places to start.

Give your agent the outcome. Let Bird provide the operations.

Understand a delivery issue
Check my recent email failures. Group them by reason, inspect the affected sending domain, and tell me what needs fixing before making changes.
Prepare a new channel
Help me set up SMS for order updates. Check my workspace and available senders, explain what is missing, then prepare a test for a number I provide.
See what is happening now
List the Voice calls that are active right now. Separate connected calls from calls that are still ringing, and show their IDs.

Before your first task.

The details that make a connection useful.

Does connecting MCP give my agent unrestricted access?

No. The tools operate within the permissions you hold and choose to delegate during authorization. You can revoke the connection from your Bird account.

Do I need an API key for hosted MCP?

Hosted MCP uses browser sign-in. An application you deploy separately uses its own protected application credential.

What if the tools appear but calls fail?

Check the client’s authentication state. Registering a server URL alone does not sign you in. Reauthorize Bird, then confirm your identity and workspace.

Can I use Bird from Grok Bot too?

Yes. The same Bird plugin, with the connector and both skills, is listed in the Grok Bot Marketplace. Set up Grok Bot

Start with one email. Then keep building. Connect Bird, add the plugin, and send the welcome email from this page.
